Dear Harry, 

I am ashamed; I have the book, you presented it to me personally three years ago, while in Warsaw. I should have checked it for the info re: Chunar. 
You mention there 'old road rollers'. My technological imagination is very scant --- were these stone 'drums' used to transport bigger, heavier pieces out of the quarry?

In what way?


Respects, 

Artur Karp

On transport see also my Asokan Sites and Artefacts, Mainz 2006: 142.
I can only warn to use Cunningham's term "Chunar sandstone" without
consideration of other and better suited quarry sites, cf. ASA: 154 ff.
with a discussion of Dr Jayaswal's model and Mukherjee's "readings".
